Beloved Family-Owned Restaurant Celebrates Opening Of New Location In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — Fairfield Pizza celebrated the official grand-opening of its new home in Stratford with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday.

The celebration took place at the restaurant’s new location at 935 Barnum Avenue Cutoff and included Mayor Laura Hoydick, local officials, and members of the community.

Fairfield Pizza, a family-owned restaurant that has served Stratford for more than 14 years, relocated from the Dock Shopping Plaza to the former Boston Market space on Barnum Avenue Cutoff.

The new location offers expanded dine-in service.

Fairfield Pizza is owned by Gilson Sousa, Luciano Zapf and Weder Ferreira, who joined the partnership at the Stratford location in 2022.

“For over a decade, Fairfield Pizza has been proud to be part of the Stratford community, and this move represents our continued commitment to serving and growing with our neighbors,” Sousa said. “Seeing the vacant Boston Market building gave us a vision for what could be an opportunity to serve our community on a larger scale. We look forward to building new memories in this location while continuing to support the community we call home.”

In keeping with its support of the community, Fairfield Pizza will host a fundraising night for the junior class at Stratford High School next week.

Fairfield Pizza is helping Stratford High School’s Class of 2027 with an all-day fundraiser on Oct. 7 by donating 15 percent of takeout or delivery orders, and 20 percent of dine-in orders, to the junior class.
